Today we are sharing our BBQ Chicken Sandwich recipe again. This is a really great one for using up leftovers (chicken, buns, coleslaw). And it works great with the meal plan we are making this month. It is also piggybacking on the post we made yesterday about how versatile chicken really is. There are a million and one chicken sandwiches out there, and this one is one of our favourites. It is great for lunch or dinner and it is really simple and uses up what you have in your kitchen (especially if you are following the meal plan we are writing this month).
What you'll need:
Cooked Chicken (we used rotisserie chicken, any cooked leftover chicken is fine)
BBQ Sauce * (We will show you how we made our own)
Coleslaw (we used a Doyle package with Mayo)
Buns or Bread
Step one:
The first thing you will want to do is shred or pull the chicken. We always do this when we break apart our rotisserie chicken so it is easier to use. (You can use fresh chicken also, keeping in mind how much you expect to use per sandwich.) To reheat the chicken we pan fry for a few seconds, just letting the chicken heat through and crisp up a little.
Once the chicken is ready, toss in B.B.Q Sauce. We made our own by adding Chicken and Rib Sauce, Mayo, Mustard, and Ketchup (if you like Hot Sauce add it also!). Make sure every piece is coated well.
We like our buns toasted so we just buttered them and placed them in the pan we fried the chicken in (like you would do for grilled cheese), if you like just bread that is fine also.
Place a good helping of the sauced chicken onto the bottom bun and top with the mixed coleslaw. Feel free to add anything else you may enjoy! (Pickles would be awesome!)
